| Issue | Severity | Workaround | |-------|----------|-------------| | CityGML appearances (textures) not yet imported | Medium | Use external texture assignment | | GeoJSON Z-dimension ignored for polygons | Low | Pre-process with custom script | | Very large OSM files (>2GB) may time out | High | Split region or use PBF + clipping | | Web Mercator to Cartesian introduces slight scale distortion at poles | Low | Use UTM for polar regions |
